7-1. Maintenance and care
Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened
with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent
and water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foam-
ing-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry.
Excellent results are obtained by keep- ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm
water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts peri odically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
Cleaning and protecting
the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.

■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the
vehicle. Doing so may cause electrical com-
ponents, etc. to malfunction or
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet. ( P. 3 5 )
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death
or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger
( P.402) get wet. Failure to do so may cause the charger to become
hot and cause burns or could cause
electric shock resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the windshield, obstructing
the driver’s view and leading to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the
vehicle interior or cause streaks or
damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub-
stances such as benzene or gaso-
line, alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alco-

The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that
may move suddenly, become hot, or
become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury, observe
the following precautions.
■When working on the engine
compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and
engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine,
radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.

Replace the tires if the treadwear indi-
cators are showing on a tire.
■When to replace your vehicle’s
tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating inter-
nal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot
be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if
it has seldom or never been used or
damage is not obvious.
■Low profile tires (17-inch tires and 18-inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear
more rapidly and tire grip performance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy
roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains
on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road
and weather conditions.
■If the tread on snow tires wears
down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow
tires is lost.
■Checking the tire valves
When replacing the tires, check the tire valves for deformat ion, cracks, and
other damage.
WA R N I N G
■When inspecting or replacing
tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage
to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics,
which may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and
snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been
used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow if your vehicle has a
compact spare tire installed.
●Vehicles with an emergency tire
puncture repair kit: Do not tow any-
thing if a tire that has been repaired using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit is installed. The load on
the tire may cause unexpected damage to the tire.
NOTICE
■Low profile tires (17-inch tires
and 18-inch tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater
damage than usual to the tire wheel
when sustaining impact from the road surface. Therefore, pay attention to

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
strapping belts.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for at most 80 km (50 miles) at
under 30 km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
For vehicles with a Multidrive, only
the front towing eyelet may be
used.
To have your vehicle towed by
another vehicle, the towing eyelet
must be installed to your vehicle.
Install the towing eyelet using the
following procedure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench
(if equipped) and towing eyelet.
( P.484, 499)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using
a flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag
between the screwdriver and the vehi- cle body as shown in the illustration.
3 Insert the towing eyelet into the
hole and tighten partially by
hand.
4 Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel nut
wrench or hard metal bar.
